Description

This paper describes the teaching of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), focusing on nutrition. The findings from a trial examination revealed that English-learners majoring in nutrition develop some English competence through the study of nutrition, as compared to other majors. They are found in not only the vocabulary but also the abilities of reading comprehension and writing. The previous studies say students learning engineering have a strong motivation for learning English, and they are also developing strategic English competence with the knowledge of their own specific field of study, as mentioned above. The results suggest that teaching ESP has some common issues in any field.
